i dig my toes into the mattress when pussy slides, like thick lips
wrapp'd tight around a chicken bone---
broken behind hungry lips, pullin' marrow into a pool of saliva.

or when hips lock & groovin' pelvises skip backbones
like stones across a small body of water.

& we knott like curly telephone cord, while we frolic in the dark
like adolescents on a nocturnal playground----
where body parts become monkey-bars we climb & play between
when sex becomes recess after dark.

i became a butterfly between your legs when your petals part'd,
spread my symmetry in the gap of your thighs & flew through you several times;
a moth drawn to the heat you project'd like illuminating porch lights.

loved how my pores open'd to the heat of your breath beatin' off me.
the way your breath stuck to the sweaty film on my skin, after we made love

& laid next to each other before we rode hypodermic funk fumes---
syringin' 12-gauge heat, when our air got us sticky like envelope paste.

we stuck to each other like lent
& let our legs lock us crouch'd fetal style in after-sex cuddle
where we glow together in our space, playin' naked:
bodies makin' faces at each other,

waitin' the cool air to come.. & hover our sweaty souls..
